Family Fitness Training in Santa Clarita for the Mindful Athlete

Adults, Children, Teens – Ekata is designed for the whole family!

Ekata Training Center is a family fitness training center and martial arts school. The name “Ekata” means “oneness” in Sanskrit. This is the underlying theme of our facility. We train adults and children to live a healthy, balanced life by training not only the body, but the brain.

Adults Unlike a typical athletic club or gym, our adult program includes complete services for wellness. We start with a thorough evaluation, then each person receives a balanced training program which includes mindfulness stress reduction, physical training plan, group training plan and dietary counseling by our nutritionist. Then based on your interest, we schedule you for a series of classes that can include martial arts/self-defense, kettlebells, Zumba and yoga!

Kids and Teens Our youth program teaches kids how to resolve conflict through non-physical means – but we back up verbal skills with with the confidence that comes from learning real-life self defense. Our program is based on Bruce Lee’s Jeet Kune Do, one of the most effective forms of practical self protection. In addition, we teach kids behavioral self-regulation to complement academic growth and facilitate social interaction within peer groups! This leads to healthier, happier kids!

Ekata offers classes, instruction and treatment in many forms of exercise and healing. Please see our “programs & classes” dropdown menu for details. Our co-founder and head instructor, Edward Monaghan is a professor at UCLA specializing in kinesthetic learning, mindfulness and mind/body integration.

We offer child care and a family environment where everyone can train together instead of isolating and compartmentalizing recreational/educational activities. If you’ve been searching for a place where you can receive expert personalized instruction in fitness, or looking for a fitness center that doesn’t cater to only the external, then you’ve found your home.

Please feel free to investigate our clients’s videos and yelp reviews and then come see for yourself. We have a very simple $49 online special so you or your child can experience our center for a month to see if our services and approach are right for you. Just go to the dropdown menu icon “Specials” and get started! We look forward to meeting you.

Sifu Ed and Sifu Joann has done an incredible job at creating a space with structured classes blending the disciplines of Fitness,Meditation Dance and Martial Arts. After my routine at Ekata I now go through my daily activities with a sense of awareness and calm that I was never able to achieve before.”

“I would like to thank you and The Ekata Training Center for helping me transform my life in many positive ways. I have found the meditation or “brain training” to have been the most important part of my learning. I have lost over 20 lbs. so far due to an increase in impulse control from meditation and mindful eating, improved mental clarity, improved personnel relationships and an overall reduction in anxiety. Thank you again!”
